Alright, I just wanted to start a new topic today, don't really know why, but I thought this would be a good conversation starter. So, as usual, the title describes it all. What makes you say the famous TMK phrase, "What the dukar?" Let the world know!

As for me, I say "What the dukar?" when I see a totally ridiculous post here on the FF. Something wiht a lott uv speeling erurz end stuf. Kinda like that sentence.

Then again, would you call it famous...?

Oh, it's famous all right. I say "what the dukar?!" in response to just about any error I happen to make when making a web page, Flash program, PHP script, etc. I also tend to say "huzzah!" when they work.

I don't say it because it's a stupid phrase.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

When did "dukar" ever come into the lexicon? I've never seen it used anywhere else and I feel goofy saying it. Which is why I don't say it.

So, you mean dukar can work as a noun, but not a figurative whateverism? I think fleeber is much more expressive.

This reminds me of part of an old topic in #tmk. For a while, it said "New mailbag omdwtdbbd" which also makes no sense. But the expanded form of "omd" might be useful now, considering what Sapph is doing.

I say "what the dukar?" when I don't feel like saying "What the heck?". I use them for the same things, though. I use it when there are really ignorant things going around and I don't understand them. Or when someone says something really shocking.

Since we all wrote a lot on our league message board, we had to put "dukar" down in print. The good spellers among us all assumed it to be spelled "dooker." My spelling challenged friend (debate partner from above), however, started spelling it "dukar." He was one of the lead proponents of dukar and convinced one of the other debaters (from above) to also spell it that way. They said it was the Old English spelling; that's why it didn't look like "dooker." With two Dukar Founders advocating the "dukar" proposal, it quickly became the standard in dukar lithography.
It can't be changed.

LD's talking like dukar is some super-rad thing that's sweeping the nation. I have a sister who used to do that after she said the word "strog-noff" as a mispronunciation of "stroginov". She thought it was funny, and started talking about proper usage of it, the history, and so ona and so forth. She also acted like it was some hilarious in-joke that everyone was in on. Eventually I was just like, "Seriously. It's not funny anymore, and it wasn't even in the first place." Obviously, this doesn't seem to be the case with dukar, but it reminded me.

By the way, I remember when I just assumed dukar was some Homestar Runner reference, since everything was back then.
